Guys, come on… can we stop calling Demon Slayer (Kimetsu no Yaiba) characters “schizophrenic” lol
Not only is that kinda messed up as a term, but it mostly comes from a really surface-level read of the series. In the manga, Breathing styles aren’t real elements, they don’t get things wet, don’t burn stuff, don’t electrocute anyone, and no one’s flying around cracking the ground.
Whenever it’s described, it’s always like “it looks like…”, “it’s as if…”. If it were literal, they wouldn’t need to phrase it like that.
And the manga is actually pretty consistent about it, through dialogue, narration, even official material. The anime goes way over the top sometimes and can’t decide what it wants to be, which just confuses people more.
Also, no one’s actually yelling attack names mid-fight lol that’s an anime thing. In the manga, it’s mostly there for the reader.
Anyway, just wanted to say this because people keep acting like Gotouge retconned everything at the end and then go straight to trashing her. It’s really not that deep 🤝
@_oTalDoLG_@Terrarinha@Matrozz_ O anime tem diversas inconsistências sim, mas a confirmação da autora veio no mangá, e no mangá é bem mais coerente que o anime nessa questão.
Não é um exemplo bom nesse caso, apesar de entender o que você quis dizer.
Há poucos meses atrás, um perfil feminino tentou aplicar o mesmo golpe em mim, ela chegou do mais completo nada e não queria falar sobre outra coisa a não ser Minecraft.
Galera, é importante ter um pouquinho de maldade no seu coração para evitar cair em golpes assim.
Boa sorte.
Actually, the phrase “as if” is already a pretty strong point, since it clearly suggests that no visible mist is actually being generated.
But there’s another argument as well: the technique’s own explanation. The narrator never describes the Seventh Form as creating real mist of any kind.
@tracingswords@ChaoticNeu92786@viking_gumball Thank you! 😁 And thanks for being respectful as well, that’s always appreciated.
And sure, if you’d like to talk about it more, feel free. If there’s any specific scene or Breathing Style you’d like to discuss, I’d be happy to hear your thoughts and share mine.
@Anthonymannis@viking_gumball Yeah, that’s the moment I’m referring to, the instant he starts using the Seventh Form.
Feel free! And honestly, I appreciate how polite you’ve been as well. That’s pretty rare these days; just look at the comments under this same post. 😂
Some scenes in the anime can give the impression that they’re visible, but that’s not really the case in the manga.
A good example is Kaigaku vs. Zenitsu. In the anime, Kaigaku stumbles back as the lightning approaches him. In the manga, however, no lightning is shown at all, and he actually leans forward as if trying to get a better look at Zenitsu.
@Anthonymannis@viking_gumball In that case, they do exist for us as the audience. What he meant is that they aren’t visible to the characters themselves.
@_Big_Hanzo@feraf4110 Actually, it’s both. The second Databook classifies Kokushibo’s Moon Breathing as a Blood Demon Art (Kekkijutsu), so by that point it’s no longer just a Breathing Style.
Hey! Hope you’re doing well. Sorry for jumping in, but I’d like to share my thoughts on that scene.
Yes, Yoriichi did burn Muzan, but that wasn’t directly tied to Sun Breathing itself. It has more to do with the circumstances of that moment and with Yoriichi specifically.
Basically, Yoriichi struck Muzan with a red blade that, according to the series itself, no other swordsman has ever been able to replicate to the same degree. That encounter also clearly traumatized Muzan: it was the first time in his life as a demon that he was completely overwhelmed and brought to the brink of death. We know from multiple examples in the story that a demon’s mental state can affect their regeneration.
For example, Kokushibo was also struck by Yoriichi, yet he never ended up with permanent scars like Muzan did. Likewise, Daki, Akaza, and Hantengu never complain about being “burned” by Tanjiro. Simply put, they aren’t actually being burned.
@tracingswords@viking_gumball I think that mainly applies to the anime. In the manga, the vast majority of attacks happen within the sword’s actual reach, especially when you take into account the technique explanations found between chapters and in the two Databooks.
